So long, June! You’ve been a busy one. And it’s about to get even busier as we enter the second half of 2026. The World Cup tournament has officially entered its peak, the kids are back at school, and we’ve run out of public holidays until August (sadly).  Fill up your calendar with a new nightlife series, a Kid Laroi concert, and film screenings about all things alien. Otherwise, unleash your creativity at Pocket Fest, shop for a new perfume at Me-You Market (scent edition), and discover Indonesia’s creative scene at Masa Singapore.

We've checked out where to go for the best sprinklers, bubblers and water fountains that are great for kids (and adults). Best of all, they are all in public spaces and have absolutely no admission fees.  RECOMMENDED:  The best public pools in Singapore and The best indoor playgrounds in Singapore

If you ask us, there’s loads to love about the month of May. It starts with a long Labour Day weekend, followed by another public holiday (Hari Raya Haji on May 27, 2026), and wraps up with a third holiday, Vesak Day, on May 31. But it’s not just the guaranteed off days that we’re looking forward to. In fact, May might be the most jam-packed and underrated month in the city, with pockets of events happening at every corner.  It’s a month overflowing with heritage, culture and arts events, from Singapore Heritage Fest, the SCCC’s Cultural Extravaganza and SIFA to the return of Blue Beauties at Gardens by the Bay.

We’ve officially arrived in April, folks. While the month usually moves a lot slower than the rest, at least it kicks off with a long weekend thanks to Good Friday, which falls on April 3. But just because the month moves more slowly, that doesn’t mean the next four weeks are going to be a bore. In fact, there are plenty of things happening around town, from new exhibitions to exciting music gigs. There’s also the return of the Malay Heritage Centre, which reopens its doors after nearly four years of renovation with a jam-packed homecoming celebration.  Speaking of highly anticipated comebacks, the month also includes the return of PetExpo, Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay and a new instalment of Hyrox. Elsewhere, look forward to Sake Sake, FENIX360 Live!, LATINADA Street Food & Music Festival, RoboFest and Spell & Iron. Here are the best things to get up to in Singapore this April.

Ramadan season is a time for our Muslim friends to self-reflect as they evaluate and renew their spiritual habits and practices. At the same time, it’s one of the liveliest months ever in Singapore, with plenty of food and retail bazaars taking place ahead of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. But Ramadan bazaars aren’t just a shopping paradise; they’re a place where the community gathers and local traditions thrive. With so many bazaars happening across the city, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. We’ve done the honour of rounding up the ones you should check out, from the must-visits to the underrated gems.

And just like that, December is upon us. Before you wrap the year up with a bang, pencil in these unmissable events in between all your holiday dinners and parties. Aside from all the Christmas markets to get your shopping done, there are also other non-festive activities to look forward to. There’s the opening of Dopamine Land at Resorts World Sentosa, the return of Comic Con and a special Kpop Demon Hunters pop-up.

Just a short 10-minute boat ride away from Singapore, Pulau Ubin might not be the first place that comes to mind for a fun day out, given the lack of trendy cafés and thrilling activities. But that doesn’t mean the island is short on unique experiences. For those who are unfamiliar with Pulau Ubin, we’ve rounded up the best things to see and do on this underrated island.

Spending 24/7 in the thick of Singapore city life can take a toll. If planning a long trip sounds too tedious to you, then good news – we don't have to get on a plane for a quick respite because our island is itself surrounded by islands that offer a slower pace of life.  Hop on a boat to these offshore destinations and breathe in the fresh air. Set up camp – or a picnic mat if you don't intend to stay the night – and relive those kampong days. These uninhabited islands are ripe for exploration, just don't forget to slather on the mozzie repellant and sunscreen.  RECOMMENDED: The best hiking trails in Singapore and the best nature trails in Singapore

Asian Film Archive invites you to explore life beyond Earth with its latest film programme, Earthlings Welcome. This July, grab your popcorn and blast off into stories about aliens, extraterrestrial life and bizarre intergalactic encounters. There’s a movie for every kind of film fan, from sci-fi dramas to offbeat animations and body horror. Some film highlights include 4K restorations of Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Wong Kar-Wai’s 2046, and the ’80s sci-fi horror classic, The Thing. Part of the programme is the Southeast Asia premiere of Lajka. Directed by Aurel Klimt, the stop-motion film was inspired by the famous Moscow dog, which became the first animal to journey into outer space. Regional sci-fi offerings also get the spotlight at Earthlings Welcome. Check out the Filipino features Miss Bulalacao and For My Alien Friend, which are both followed by post-screening Q&A sessions, as well as AiyA! Aliens in Your Area. The latter combines a PowerPoint presentation party and a short film showcase featuring works from Vietnam and Singapore.

A special edition of Me-You Market? Coming right up. The fan-favourite shopping haven returns with another weekend market – albeit on a smaller scale, and this time, it’s centred exclusively on scents from Southeast Asia. Sniff your way through a dozen perfumes, home fragrances and fabric sprays from over 20 regional brands, including Indonesian cult faves Kitschy, YN PERFUMERY and Scents of P.L.T.O, alongside homegrown labels like Drop Fragrances and Reverseas. Expect no two fragrances to smell alike, though every bottle’s guaranteed to leave an impression and turn heads. Browse everything from classic fruity and floral scents to warm gourmand blends with woody and musky notes. Nosey for something more unconventional? Venture into a more unexpected territory with perfumes inspired by strawberry matcha, cereal, and even fresh produce from the farmers’ market, if you’re into that kinda stuff. If you’re shopping for a cat lover – or maybe you’re one yourself – then look out for the Malaysian label SoraE Fragrance, whose scents pay tribute to rescued local kitties. Take note that, unlike past events, this one will be ticketed. Each ticket lets you choose a preferred timeslot to enter and comes with a complimentary goodie bag.

Fans of The Kid LAROI, rejoice. The Australian rapper and singer-songwriter returns to Singapore for a one-night-only show at Arena @ Expo. The concert is held as part of LAROI’s A Perfect World Tour, in support of his latest album, Before I Forget. Expect to sing along to new hits like “A Cold Play”, “Private” and the tour’s namesake “A Perfect World”, alongside all-time favourites such as “Nights Like This”, “Stay” and, of course, the viral banger, “Girls” (Off Campus viewers will understand). LAROI made his first Singapore appearance in 2022 as part of the Formula One Grand Prix concert lineup. He had originally planned to return to the Lion City for his debut solo show in 2024, but the concert – alongside the rest of his Asia tour at the time – was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Following his performance in Singapore, the rapper will bring his latest show to the rest of Asia, which includes two nights in Taipei and Hong Kong. The trek continues on in Europe later this October.

Featuring more than 50 artists and over 15 programmes, Pocket Fest is back and bigger than before. Organised by ART:DIS, the second edition of the inclusive arts and community festival returns with a jam-packed lineup of creative workshops, exhibitions, performances and free activities for people of all ages and abilities. Design your own acrylic keychain, create a suncatcher fan, and learn how to make a bag charm from fabric scraps at the various drop-in craft booths. The festival also invites you to be part of the art. Help “grow” a whimsical garden by transforming cardboard cut-outs into flowers and plants, or add your portrait to a collaborative community tapestry. Another major festival highlight is a new exhibition spotlighting artists with disabilities. Quiet Frequencies presents the works of 34 emerging artists across drawing, painting and sculpture, offering a deeply personal perspective on how they each experience, interpret and engage with the world around them. But the creativity doesn’t stop at the visual arts. There’s a series of live performances as well, including slam poetry, music sets, and a theatrical adventure that plunges you into a surreal world of chocolate lava. Register for workshops in advance here.

It’s no secret that Indonesia is a hotbed of creativity. Experience the country’s vibrant creative scene and talent first-hand as Masa Marketplace lands in Singapore. More than just a shopping event, this month-long extravaganza, themed A Sight into the Golden Indonesia Era, celebrates its culture of community and collaboration with a massive showcase that spans fashion, design, art, music, food and hospitality. The programme unfolds across two main venues, kicking off at Takashimaya Shopping Centre, where more than 80 Indonesian brands and creatives come together for a four-day showcase. Discover emerging designers and artists, browse contemporary fashion and homeware, and sample its cuisine from innovative culinary players. Highlights include Santai Furniture, a contemporary Javanese design studio, and Roemah Koffie, a roastery redefining Indonesia’s coffee culture. The exhibition then moves to Gardens by the Bay for a display that draws inspiration from Nusantara folklore, flora and fauna. The installation blends rafflesia blooms and lotus spirits with local orchids, alongside Balinese naga sculptures, striking peacock-inspired motifs and more. Then, on July 12, be prepared for Masa Sound at the Glass Dome. The concert puts the spotlight on Indonesia’s contemporary music scene as Matter Mos, Future Loundry, Marbles, Lullaboy, Alan Darmawan and Pengayoman take to the stage.

If you’ve been to an Outer Bounce party, then you know that the vibe is anything but conventional. Returning with a brand-new series titled Inner Rhythm, Outer Bounce has teamed up with RASA Space for a cross-cultural night like no other. The concept is simple: to bring underground club nights from different cities straight to you. For its inaugural edition, experience a slice of Sydney and Manila’s subcultures as three DJs bring their distinct flavours to the dancefloor. Sharing the main room, Australia’s Andy Garvey delivers an intoxicating set of deep techno textures and psychedelic rhythms, while Sean Bautista of Duality from the Philippines anchors the evening with gritty, percussive-heavy anthems. Meanwhile, LONER handles the Hall with a live performance that blends club music and Filipino sounds with alternative pop songwriting and lyricism. Completing the lineup are Singapore’s very own RTJ, Failtry lagi and Dodi, who will drive the night with energetic techno grooves, footwork and juke. For some pre-game plans, doors will open early to serve dinner and drinks, before the dancefloor and bar come alive.

Some of Disney’s Pixar movies’ most memorable moments wouldn’t be the same without their soaring scores. Think of Marlin gazing over the Great Barrier Reef in Finding Nemo, Remy scurrying through the streets of Paris in Ratatouille, or the tear-jerking sequence between Carl and Ellie in UP. Close your eyes and you almost hear their distinct soundtracks. Pixar in Concert revisits these iconic scenes through a live orchestral performance of the award-winning scores from Randy Newman, Michael Giacchino, Thomas Newman and more, accompanied by HD screenings of the films for a totally immersive experience. For two hours, the Orchestra of the Music Makers, helmed by conductor Joshua Tan, will bring to life the music from your favourite movies for a magical Disney evening. The animated classics featured in the concert include Toy Story, Monsters Inc., WALL-E and The Incredibles, alongside more recent favourites such as Inside Out, Coco, Finding Dory and more.

Naga House is pulling all the stops for its fourth anniversary celebrations with back-to-back parties that involve plenty of cocktails, food, art and music. The cafe-bar at Boat Quay is packing four days with everything, from kitchen takeovers to boozy guest shifts and even an emo night. Clock out of work early for innovative cocktails crafted by Bali bartender Vandena Yanarta on Thursday night, before ringing in the weekend with Connor Gibson’s Mexican-inspired dishes. The celebrations culminate on Sunday with Naga Neighbourhood Hangs, an all-day party featuring a special curated menu by chefs Ameer and Keem. Also gracing the occasion are Naga House’s friends KnottyKnottyNiceNice, Inglorious Union, and Devils Play Craft, who will be offering a range of art and merch that you can take home. There’ll also be a live silkscreen station where you can print on tote bags for free. Hang out as Loky’s serve fresh cups of Joe, while a rotation of DJs supply the choons throughout the day. The decks will stay open for anyone to take over after.

Sorry, bag lovers, but this isn’t that kind of BAGFest. The inaugural festival organised by Sing Lit Station and Origame is short for books and board games, gathering independent publishers, writers, zine makers, board game designers and the creative community for a screen-free weekend where you’re invited to unwind, unplug and rediscover the joy of reading and offline gaming. Look forward to over 30 vendors setting up booths, offering activities for everyone to enjoy. Discover modern Asian tabletop games, take part in demos, or sit in on readings and panel discussions with fellow enthusiasts. Some of the highlights include booths from Singapore-based game studios such as Ameba Games, Nekomancy and Boardverse, as well as organisations like Lepak Conversations and Migrant Writers of Singapore. There are community tables, too, where you can learn more about journaling and narrative RPGs, or join in on a murder mystery. Entry to the festival itself is free, but you can complete the experience with its Read & Play Passport. The passport offers 10% discount on any purchase at the festival grounds, including a chance to redeem exclusive event prizes and rewards. Get yours here.

Art Deco is the highlight of Kerbside & Co.’s fifth edition of its regular art market. At Vintage Tidings: Deco Emporium, celebrate the bold colours, symmetry and lavish silhouettes of the 1920s and 1930s. Over two days, expect a curated selection of sleek geometric pieces, bejewelled designs and all sorts of glamorous and unique treasures from the past. Alongside the store’s collection of newly sourced vintage clothing, you can also browse handpicked gems from Eye of the Cat, Wicked Wants, and Suma General Store. Take your pick of Victorian-era heirlooms, intricate ornaments and trinkets, as well as retro seashell-shaped purses and authentic leather bags. Finish off your shopping by filling your tummies with goodies from The Little Black Oven. Indulge in sweet treats like its indulgent London-style chocolate cake and bonbons.

If R&B’s your jam, then consider this your cue: Culture’s signature SoulSet series is hosting its biggest show yet at Tanjong Pagar Distripark. This block party will be serving up silky beats and laid-back performances from some of the finest soul, hip-hop and groove selectors in the region. Imagine nothing else but a seven-hour playlist of club classics and today’s biggest bangers that you already know by heart. Dance to timeless anthems by Rihanna, Beyoncé and Usher, and belt out to contemporary hits by SZA and more. Leading the party are Australian DJs Teeks and Nadz, who will bring their high-energy sets and genre-hopping mixes to Singapore for the occasion. The lineup is rounded out by SoulSet’s very own Lucas Kyle, SoundsOfFai, Pin, Simone, and Dee, who keep the soulful vibes going well into the night. Aside from music, there’s also a slew of fringe activities and F&B to get into. We hear there’ll be tacos, subs, doughnuts, and loads of matcha. So come for the music, and stay on for a helluva good time.

A play disguised as a wedding? That’s what A Mirror is in a nutshell. From British playwright Sam Holcroft comes a sharp, darkly funny and provocative drama that blurs the line between fact and fiction. The story is set in an unnamed authoritarian state, where the truth is being questioned and artistic freedom is challenged. In the performance, a writer decides to stage a theatre production without government approval – and you’re in on the secret. A Mirror was inspired by Holcroft’s visit to North Korea, which she’d described as “a piece of theatre like nothing I’ve ever seen”. The play made its debut to huge acclaim in 2023 at London’s Almeida Theatre, before moving to the Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End. The Singapore edition of A Mirror stars Ghafir Akbar, Andrew Marko, Zachary Pang and Coco Wang Ling, and is directed by Tracie Pang, alongside Timothy Koh. It is staged at the Singtel Waterfront Theatre.

  Tan Leong KitPhoto: Donn Tan Tan Leong Kit, 86Owner of ‘Y u so like that!’ drink stall How long have you been living in Ubin? I’ve been living here since 1989. What do you do every day on the island? I live on the island on weekdays and go back to Singapore on the weekends to stay with my family. While I’m in Ubin, I usually make sure I keep myself fit by either exercising or gardening, apart from taking care of the shop. I encounter different types of people every day, who come by the store, especially expats and tourists. Favourite part of Ubin? I enjoy every part of the island because the air is really clean here.

What’s it like living in Ubin? Every day is a pretty easy life. Living here is stress-free. As you get older, it’s harder to find jobs, and Singapore can get really competitive. Shop rentals are high, too. I watch television programmes from time to time as I run the shop and attend to customers. However, business here isn’t too great and I still have to pay my shop’s $1,700 electricity bill each month. Favourite part of Ubin? [Laughs] My shop, lor.

It's a sad day for Inuka lovers. The beloved senior polar bear, who was born in the Singapore Zoo, had been suffering from old age illnesses and the wildlife park has announced that he has passed on peacefully this morning (Apr 25).

Unless you've been living under a rock, then you've probably already heard about Hollywood's upcoming summer rom-com Crazy Rich Asians. Based on Singaporean author Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a woman who travels to Singapore to meet with her boyfriend's family for the very first time – and they're nothing like what she expects them to be. Starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, the movie takes a peek into the extra lavish and glitzy lives of, well, crazy rich Asians. And it's just dropped its latest trailer. The cast and crew were seen filming here last June, so we weren't surprised to see the clip peppered with glamorous shots of the city. We put our skills to the test and try to spot and guess the iconic landmarks and familiar streets featured: 1) The Merlion Screenshot via YouTube 2) Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum and the Singapore Flyer Screenshot via YouTube 3) East Coast Parkway Screenshot via YouTube 4) Bukit Pasoh Road Screenshot via YouTube 5) Gardens by the Bay Screenshot via YouTube 6) Chijmes Screenshot via YouTube 7) Newton Food Centre Screenshot via YouTube 8) Marina Bay Sands (again) Screenshot via YouTube 9) Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands Screenshot via YouTube You can watch the trailer below and see if we missed any!  Are you excited for Crazy Rich Asians?

Welcome to Time Out Singapore's 52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG – our commitment to showing you the best of what's going on in the city this week. Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with Willy Tan of content agency Aging Youth, which specialises in talent management and music publishing, to talk about the local music scene and his favourite homegrown heroes. What gets you excited about Singapore? I don’t think there’s just one singular thing that gets me excited. It’s the place where I grew up – my family and friends are here. There are always things to do and places to hang out. In fact, sometimes, there might be too many events to go to, but I think that's actually a good problem. #PassionMadePossible! Where’s your favourite place to listen to live music in Singapore? I’ve always loved Fort Canning Green as a venue. It’s spacious and the best part, no one gets in your face too much. Plus it's got a gentle slope, so everyone gets a decent view of the stage.  What are your thoughts on the current local music scene?  I guess technology pushed the music discovery process, allowing more Singaporeans to gain faster and get easier access to new music content. The underground and indie kids will remain the same. They will be there to support their friends and the acts they like. When they grow older with different responsibilities in life, they move on and the next generation of

Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with homegrown director Kirsten Tan – best known for her phenomenal work Pop Aye (it also made it on our list for best Singaporean movies of 2017!) – on what the local film community is like and her collaboration with the upcoming Swedish Film Festival that's happening from April 12 to 15. What gets you excited about Singapore? The buzz and dynamism of 24-hour back-alley kopitiams where real life happens, outlierswho go against the grain of this conformist society and Tai Hwa bak chor mee! What should moviegoers and film lovers check out in Singapore? Firstly, there's Asian Film Archives. What I like about the organisation is that they are not influenced by market forces, which allows their film and art programming to be more esoteric. There's also The Projector – I really like the space it occupies between mainstream and arthouse. It functions almost as tastemakers, a diving board for Singaporean audiences to experience a broader range of cinema. Lastly, of course, is Singapore International Film Festival. The annual SGIFF has grown into such an important regional film festival and it always offers an amazing selection of movies, with something for everyone. Recommend 3 Singaporean movies made by f

It's probably too early to be discussing anything Halloween-related right now, but fans of Stranger Things would wanna scooch a lil closer. Universal Studios Singapore is partnering with Netflix for the first time to bring to life the award-winning supernatural television series at this year's edition of the scare festival. Make like Mike, Eleven and the gang as you walk through the Hawkins National Laboratory, the Byers' living room and, of course, the hair-raising Upside Down. Oh, and we hear the Demogorgon will be lurking around too – but keep those slingshots (or wrist-rockets) in your pockets, please. For a sneak peek of what's gonna go down this Halloween, check out the video below. Halloween Horror Nights return to Resorts World Sentosa from Sep 28 to Oct 31. Stay updated on its website.
